The United States and South Korea are conducting their largest-ever military exercises on the Korean peninsula [1], one week after the White House announced that it was considering military action against North Korea to bring about regime change. [2] The US-led exercises involve:
• 300,000 South Korea troops
• 17,000 US troops
• The supercarrier USS Carl Vinson
• US F-35B and F-22 stealth fighters
• US B-18 and B-52 bombers
• South Korean F-15s and KF-16s jetfighters. [3]
While the United States labels the drills as “purely defensive” [4] the nomenclature is misleading. The exercises are not defensive in the sense of practicing to repel a possible North Korean invasion and to push North Korean forces back across the 38th parallel in the event of a North Korean attack, but envisage an invasion of North Korea in order to incapacitate its nuclear weapons…

Not a whole lot of countries left that the US isn’t occupying, invading or planning to invade.
They are everywhere. And there is in fact no nook or cranny on the entire planet that they do not influence in a big way, including, of course, its only remaining adversaries, Russia and China.
The tragedy of it is that ordinary people are swept up into the geopolitical maelstrom. That’s the only part of it that really bothers me: the wasted lives and the attendant environmental destruction. And how long has this been going on? Let it be over already.
